COMBINATION WRENCH-TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 460,438, datedSeptember 29, 1891.

Application filed June 9, 1891. Serial No. 395,623. (No model.)

To all whom. it may concern:

Be it known that I, AARON O. HAUNTY, of Potts Grove, in the county ofNorthumberland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Combination VVrench-Tools, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

This invention consists in a combinationtool of novel construction andwhich embraces an alligator burr-wrench, a pipe-wrench, a hammer, atack-puller, and a screw-driver, or certain of these, together withspecial means of ad ustment applied to the wrench portion of the tool,which wrench part is a prominent feature of the implement, itbeingessentially a wrench with other useful features combined, substantiallyas hereinafter described, and more particularly pointed out in theclaims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, 111 which .similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 represents alongitudinal side View of the tool complete; Fig.2, a plan or longitudinal View in a plane at right angles to Fig. 1;Fig. 3, a sectional view of the hammer and Fig. 4, a sectional view uponthe line 44 in Fig. 3.

A B indicate two crossing levers pivoted together, as at 6. These leversform the handles c c and jaw portions of the wrench and have integralwith them other parts of the tool. Thus the leverA virtually forms aburr or nut wrench of what is known as the alligator description, itbeing constructed at its forward end with a fixed double jaw or mouth,the two opposing interior faces or jaws e e of which are serrated ortoothed and taper backwardly toward each other, so as to enable thejaw-head d in which such toothed tapering mouth is formed to receive andfirmly grip within it dilferent-sized burrs or nuts. The j aw-head d ofthis lever A is also constructed on the reverse side of its inner jaw eto form a fixed concave-shaped and toothed single jaw f of apipe-wrench.

The lever B is constructed at its forward end to form a hammer-head g,which will be found very convenient when using the tool as a hammer,which is almost a necessary appendage to a Wrench. Said forward end ofthe lever B is also constructed to form the opposing concave-shaped andtoothed jaws f f of the pipe-wrench, the forward portion f of which ismade to constitute an extension point or piece and is fitted to movelongitudinally in and out within slideways in the hammerhead g, as shownin Figs. 3 and 4, a screw h fitting a threaded aperture in theextensionpiece f and operated by a milled head i, arranged within athrough opening is in the fixed jaw portion and accessible from oppositesides, serving to provide for rotating the screw h by the thumb andfinger to slide or adjust the extension-piece f in or out, as required.This adjustment of the one pipewrench jaw or forwardportion thereofadapts the pipe-wrench to differentorirregularshaped pipes. The levers Aand B are adjustable toward or from each other by a thumb-screw or screwZ andthumb-nut m and spring we combined for increasing or diminishingthe size or capacity of the wrench or pipe-wrench portion of the tool.

To further add to the utility of the tool, its onehandle part c isconstructed at its outer extremity to form a nail-puller s and its otherhandle part c to constitute a screw-driver blade or point 8'. It willthus be seen that the tool combines in a simple and practicable mannermany uses more or less connected with each other in general work, bothindoor and outdoor, and whereby much time may be saved as compared withemploying separate tools, besides saving room, expense, and admitting ofbeing readily transferred from place to place or of being easily carriedin the pocket.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a combination-tool, the crossed pivoted levers A B, a pipe-wrenchjaw on the inner edge of the outer portion of lever B, a similar jaw fonthe head d of lever A, and the alligator-wrench in the outer extremityof the head d, provided with serrated jaws e 6, extending longitudinallyof the head, the inner jaw 6 being formed by the outer edge ofpipewrench jaw f, substantially as set forth.

2. A combination-tool comprising a lever having a pipe-wrench jaw f anda crossing lever having an opposed fixed jaw-sectionf anoutward-projecting hammer-head g be yond said section, guideways acrossthe inner end of the hammer-head, a movable jaw-sectionf in said Ways,and an adj Listing-screw 72, having an operating-head i in a recess backof the fixed section f substantially as set forth.

3. The pipe-wrench portion of the tool, composed of a lever having atits forward end a fixed concaveshaped and toothed pi pe-wrench jaw andof a crossing lever pivoted to the first one, constructed at its forwardend with an opposing similar toothed jaw having an adjustable forwardextension point or piece, substantially as specified.

4. A wrench comprising the crossed pivoted levers, one of which has afixed serrated jaw j" and the other a fixed jaw-section f and a sliding,section f, movable toward and from the seetionf and provided with thelongitudinally-extending screw h, having an operating-head i,substantially as set forth.

5. A combination-tool consisting in the two crossed pivoted levers A B,a screw-driver .s" and pullers at the inner extremities of levers B A,respectively, the alligatorqaws e e and the pipe-wrench jaw f at theforward e.\'- tremity of lever A, the hammer g and fixed and movablepipe-wrench jaw-sections j" j" at the outer end of lever B, the screw /Lfor operating the movable jaw-section, and the adjusting-screw Z,connecting the two levers and provided with a thumb-nut m, substantiallyas set forth.
